Male Team 28 Jul - 01 Aug
Vuelta a Burgos
796 Kilometers 5 Stages
The ‘resurgence race’. Nearly five months after the peloton pinned their last numbers on before the outbreak of the pandemic, the Movistar Team’s men’s team gets back into business with a race in their home Spain, a frantic calendar that will see all major goals of the season contested into just 100 days.
The Vuelta a Burgos, a brilliantly organised race known for its road security -which is also enjoying a leap towards the ProSeries category in 2020-, will see top cycling back with a strong field of WorldTour competitors, which has led the race designers to seek for a more ‘democratic’ route, which isn’t entirely made of uphill finishes.
There will be two flat stages for the sprinters, towards Villadiego (Wednesday 29th) and Roa (Friday 31st), located between the three decisive finishes: the classic double ascent of the Alto del Castillo (Tuesday 28th), for punchy climbers and the strongest sprinters, and two mountain-top arrivals at the Picón Blanco (Thuesday 30th; nearly 8km at 9%) and the Lagunas de Neila (Saturday 1st August; last 5km at nearly 10%).
